You tell me, this is called daily youth?

This is when we need to summarize, and there happens to be an excellent reference around us.

"The lower-level Zerg aren't a big threat, roughly within their 'limit,' but their numbers are vast. Even I can't defeat a thousand with one."

"The intermediate Zerg, represented by the Cerebrates and Warriors, have begun to show special evolutionary directions. One is a defensive position, and the other is a vanguard. They possess intelligence and are the backbone of the Zerg."

Yuuki tapped the table lightly. Judging from the video, the medium-sized Zerg, the long-range specialized 'gun bugs', and the flying 'bat dragons' were not easy to deal with.

"Because they specialize in a certain area, their weaknesses are also obvious. Judging from the overall situation, they are probably above Extraordinary Level II. Killing dozens of them will not be a problem."

His fingertips paused for a moment. Yuki didn't seem to be overflowing with confidence, ready to mow down Wushuang. Specialization means weakness, but it also means strength. Coordination with each other would make people suffer.

The most special one among them is the brain worm. This thing has no attack power, but its "psychic field" can interfere with all soulless things. No wonder it exploded before the missile hit.

To deal with it, one must have a soul, that is, the soldier's physical body must step into the stance, but the stance has its own detection ability, and optical invisibility is impossible.

"This is the key to the Zerg Guard Fortress. I wonder if Senior Sister can sneak in."

Yuki was included in the options, and then turned over, his back straight.

Next up is the real advanced Zerg.

The first page was the 'puppet worm' that he had heard of before, followed by 'human worm', 'general worm', etc. Yuki was slightly stunned after taking a look at them.

These high-level Zerg illustrations are not hideous, but rather resemble mutated humans, as described in the opening paragraph:

The more advanced the insect, the more it resembles humans.

Chapter 5: I, Sky Island Castle (K)

At the front of the transport plane, a red diamond-shaped device cast a grayish-white light, and the man inside was reading carefully.

This is a kind of surveillance, but it is far more advanced than that on Earth. Yuki feels like he is sitting in the cabin, and every micro-expression can be seen clearly.

Several soldiers in tights were sitting or standing, while the captain in a blue wide-brimmed hat and another man in a red military uniform were observing carefully.

The red ones are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Defense Force. Each "Goshawk" is assigned a team. Of course, due to the current shortage of manpower, the team has been assigned to one person only.

Their job is to purge the inside, and of course a 'reinforcement' coming from outside the planet is under surveillance.

"On the surface, there's nothing wrong, but these people are all talented actors, and the fact that there's no problem is the biggest problem." The man walked around the holographic projection.

"Captain Kudus, don't be so suspicious. At least this man volunteered to join the battle and actually helped quite a bit." The captain took off his military cap, revealing a shiny bald head. His hair and beard had already turned gray, and his left hand was fitted with a prosthetic limb. He grinned and said,

"And he's very powerful. He killed the warrior bug in no time."

"Captain Ferrick, haven't you heard the saying 'the stronger, the more dangerous'? We've had enough similar lessons. For example, during the time of the seventh commander-in-chief, we brought these reinforcements to meet the commander-in-chief, but they assassinated him. All of their military achievements were just to reveal their true intentions. And during the time of the eighth commander-in-chief, the three lurkers..."

Ferik rolled his eyes, and the others also showed impatient expressions. The captain was about to start his history class again, and there was no way to get away for an hour or two.

"Captain, this person is very concerned about the Zerg and is indeed studying it carefully." Chris had to speak up to remind him.

"It could be an act. Remember, don't trust them. All we need is that strength."

"But my psychic detection is also..."

"The detection is unreliable. Do you need me to give you a history lesson? There have been cases of Defense Force cadres being manipulated."

"No, no, no, I get it."

They are suspicious, but that is the job of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As for the second half of the sentence, it was unanimously agreed upon. After suffering too many losses, no one would believe it easily.

The key is how to use that power?

Kudus had already watched the footage and admitted that Yuuki was very strong, and his fighting style was consistent with the usual characteristics of a 'reinforcement':

It has limited mass destruction capabilities and is better at small-scale assaults, making it perfect for tasks like plugging holes.

"Captain, open the central data link. Lieutenant, send your men to guard the outside."

This seemed to be some top-secret equipment. Apart from the transport pilot, the only people in the cabin were Kudus, the captain and Lieutenant Chris.

After verifying the pupils and installing a special decoding lock, Yuki's image disappeared and a huge projection was projected.

It was the shadow of a planet. There was a basin in the middle of the continent. In the basin were star-like light spots, some large and some small, and there were two of the largest and brightest ones.

One was moving at a fairly fast speed, and the other was fixed at the gap in the basin, surrounded by densely packed small spots of light.

But the Zerg's information was very one-sided; they could only see the enemies near the mountains.

A huge flow of information was spreading out. The captain raised his hand and typed continuously in the void, extracting some information.

"The known reinforcements number seventy, divided into fifteen groups?" Chris read out the information, somewhat surprised. "Why are there so many this time?"

"The way they arrived was different from before. They landed in scattered groups. Some of them must still be hiding. Oh, there are only 14 groups left now."

As he was speaking, a point of light and a support force were confirmed dead on the north side of the mountains hundreds of kilometers away.

The light spot represents the fortress, proving that all members of Team 7 who went to carry out the task of plugging the hole were killed. A new wormhole has been constructed, and it will take ten times the effort to close the wormhole.

"Mare's dead. Do you need us to go and support him?" Chris lowered her head slightly, her face filled with sadness, but she frowned. "Our team is still capable of fighting. We can go and join them."

The captain knew this was her good friend and patted the girl's shoulder gently. "The Goshawk needs to replace its fuel rods. Besides, the wormhole has been built in East District 8, which is closer to us."

"Within a week, two wormholes were constructed, and the situation is getting worse."

Several people were silent. The situation was indeed not good. Ever since the Zerg evolved into burrowing worms, they could bypass the 'Wall of Sighs' and did not attack the 'Unbreakable Fortress', but suddenly drilled in from unpredictable places.

The defense forces established numerous guard posts inside the mountains, supplemented by patrols by small teams of soldiers, to immediately seal off any wormholes they discovered, but this only made the already depleted manpower even worse.

"Right now, the borers haven't evolved enough to break through the entire wall. If that happens..."

"Don't overthink it, Lieutenant." Kudus interrupted the depressing words with a firm expression, "We can survive, and we must survive."

Silence again, this belief has been instilled in me since birth, but the situation is getting worse and worse.

There are countless battles and victories recorded in the history of the Defense Force, including those involving Lurkers, Puppet Insects, and Bat Dragon Swarms. However, the result is that the base is getting smaller and smaller, and humanity is on the verge of extinction.

This is a slow death, like being strangled by a giant hand, dull and desperate.

But what can be done? Humanity has reached a point of no return. Apart from the instinct for survival, the only hope they have is the glimmer of hope brought by these uncontrollable reinforcements.

"Can their landing capsule be recovered?" The captain remembered something.

"The research department went there, but it disintegrated on its own and couldn't find any of the technology needed for Project Ark."

"Is that so?" The captain's face suddenly turned pale. He smiled awkwardly and slowly turned around. "Highest alert. Watch out for a sudden attack by the bat dragon. I'm going back to my room to rest."

He just left like that, staggering. Chris and Kudus looked at his back, unable to say a word.

This was obviously against discipline, but the captain did not intend to pursue it.

"Ferik sacrificed a hand and a leg for this war, along with two sons and a daughter. Now he only has one grandson to cherish." Kudus took off his military cap and tucked it under his arm. "That kid is thirteen years old now and will be enlisting next year. A breakthrough in the Ark Project is his only hope."

The Ark Project was about to be successful, but the relevant information was completely lost as early as the colonial era. The defense forces could not even go into space under the surveillance of the Zerg, let alone cross the galaxy.

Those mysterious reinforcements are the only hope. The defense forces have never received any identity information, but it is certain that these people came from other distant planets.

"That's our only hope." Chris has psychic talents and was trained until she was 16 before joining the army. She is considered lucky.

"Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Let's first figure out how to survive this wave. Every time a new bug appears, it means a new battle is about to begin."

The girl nodded. Humanity is so miserable even though they keep winning. If they lose once, they will probably become extinct. At this time, a red stream of information appeared on the projection.

The two people who were chatting were startled, and quickly stood up straight and recited silently:

"The Commander-in-Chief has ordered that the relationship with the reinforcements be adjusted to a trust level. All investigations are to be kept secret. Every effort must be made to deploy them into the wormhole battlefield. If anyone disobeys orders, unless they can be identified as lurkers, no force should be used to suppress them. Approach conciliatory measures whenever possible."

The two looked at each other, both feeling a little flustered.

Is the situation already so critical? They actually skipped the testing phase. They were just desperate.

The reason for not suppressing the rebellion by force is that they are afraid of provoking the overall resentment of the reinforcements. The command is essentially putting itself in a weak position, but are such gentle tactics really useful?

call.

Chris suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether the reinforcements she had just encountered were trustworthy or not, at least they were willing to fight.

By the way, what’s his name?

......

There is something strange about this planet, and it gives me a faint sense of despair.

At the same time, Yuki was analyzing the copy intelligence. He had already read the information and keenly noticed some problems.

The characteristics of the swarm are described in great detail, and even summarized concisely:

First, the division of labor is clear. Each type of insect has its own job and focuses on one area. Each insect swarm also executes simple commands and will not give up the advance just because friendly forces fail to keep up.

Second, the behavior is rigid. For example, if one swarm is allowed to patrol a certain area, other swarms will not interfere.

Third, do not judge friend or foe by appearance. Appearance, sound, and smell are useless to them. The defense forces have tried various methods of infiltration but all have failed. However, in the eyes of the players, the basis for the Zerg to judge friend or foe is already written in the prompt:

Reputation?

Yuki put down the information. The content should be credible and is a summary of many years, but there is one thing that is very strange.

The introduction to the Zerg is very detailed, but the situation of the defense forces themselves is glossed over in passing. There is not even a map, let alone the distribution of cities and troop deployment.

"You're on guard against the players, right? But from what I've observed, you have no choice but to use it. Even if you know it's poison, you still have to drink it."

Yuki had already seen the shortage of manpower. The blood-boiling scenes of those battles could not cover up the losses.

The territory and population are constantly decreasing. There are only a few living people in such a large transport plane, and the players also have real skills.

Although their total number is not as many as the soldiers in a guard station, their quality is high. According to the nature of the reincarnation game, the strength gap between the camps participating in a copy will not be too big, and there is definitely no shortage of extraordinary or even monster-level players.

The second point can be inferred from the Zerg itself. Their evolutionary direction is clear. For example, the 'Soldier Bug' is obviously targeting guns and has maxed out its physical resistance, while the Brain Bug is specifically designed to deal with various intelligent missiles.

This kind of evolution is precisely useless to players, and even Link City doesn't know how many weird abilities players actually have.

"They have fast reaction speed, strong individual strength, and rich experience in team combat. It seems like they were born for wormhole warfare?" Yuki has experienced it personally. Before the wormhole is formed, he can only block the hole faster by bringing his senior sisters with him.

The last point is based on Tip 2. If no information about the reincarnation game is allowed to be leaked, the natives will not understand things like camps, teams, and other messy things, and will only see the players as a whole.

"I'm 90% sure. Before they confirm I'm a sleeper, they'll treat me with courtesy. I'll be safe if I cooperate with this defense force."

Yuuki breathed a sigh of relief, almost confirming his previous guess, and then felt that being a "lurker" was not that bad.

Seize or destroy the fire. In other words, it doesn’t matter if I don’t destroy it, and there will be no irreversible conflict with my seniors.

Whether to rob or destroy will be decided later. As long as the headquarters gives enough benefits, there is no need for me to be a bad guy.

Yuki stood up and stretched his shoulders, walking back and forth in the small cabin. The key to the camp mission was the harvest. He was very interested in the reward for military merit. In addition, there were also game rewards.

Two bonus points, to be honest, it was the easiest time, after all, he just did some cover work, but it was impossible for him to block the hole alone.

Both the difficulty and the rewards are an order of magnitude higher than before. No wonder some players on the spaceship said they were going to make a fortune.

And the souls of those Zerg are powerful and pure, and are unprecedented high-end supplements.

Military merit, games, and souls, there are actually three paths to harvest.

Boom!

Yuki slammed his fist on the table, almost certain that the copy had returned to normal and the reincarnation game was not playing tricks on him.

[Player Yuki's defense force reputation has been updated and is currently at the Trusted level.]

"Are you excited?"

A clear female voice and a whisper came at the same time. Yuki turned his head and saw the blonde girl standing at the door. She took off her tights and changed into a dark green military uniform.

He looks too young, and to be honest, a little strange, and his expression is very subtle, as if he doesn't want to pay attention to me, but I have to approach him.

Forget about the honey trap, he's just a little brat, not even as good as Hiyori.

He was stunned for a moment, thinking back to the hint and the expression of the girl in front of him, and suddenly laughed:

"Well, I suddenly found myself safe."

"How did you get it?"

"Your expression is too stiff and too deliberate. You must have received some orders."

Chris was stunned and quickly touched her face. She thought, "I haven't received any spy training, but is it really that obvious? Or can this powerful psychic read minds?"

At this moment, she heard the low laughter again.

"I was just guessing, but now I'm completely certain that you received instructions from your superiors. The content should be something like correcting your attitude towards the reinforcements."

The girl's smile froze completely, and she quietly took a half step back, suddenly remembering that these 'reinforcements' had one thing in common:

Most people are very intelligent and make excellent schemers.

"Don't worry, updating the relationship can save both of you time."
